Patent NZ-220547-A (NZ)
Title: Method of producing biologically active t-pa in host cell culture
Inventor: ARATHOON WILLIAM R
IPC: C12N9/48
Filed: 1987-06-03
Abstract: Biologically active human tissue-type plasminogen activator is produced in a host cell culture by removing from the medium of the culture all medium components which are detrimental to recovery and activity of the plasminogen activator. For example, cross filtration may be used to carry out medium exchange during culture, or the detrimental components may be removed prior to culturing. The cells retain their expression capability after exclusion of the harmful substances so that production of active plasminogen activator can be effected.
Patent NZ-225039-A (NZ)
Title: Controlling product repressurisation in a pressure swing adsorption vessel or series of vessels
Inventor: STOCKER J
IPC: B01D53/04
Filed: 1988-06-15
Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for automatically controlling product repressurization in a pressure swing adsorption (PSA) process. According to the invention the same valve employed for withdrawing product from a bed during adsorption is employed to feed product gas to that bed during product repressurization. This enables the elimination of several valves, including a system-dependent valve, thereby improving system reliability. The same controllable valve may also be used to control the pressure in the PSA system.

Title: Transmission timing in synchronous data hierarchy system
Inventor: FERGUSON STEPHEN PATRICK
IPC: H04L12/00
Filed: 1992-06-29
Abstract: In an SDH data transmission system the system is synchronised to a primary rate clock, such as a 2 Mbit timing, by translating the 2 Mbit timing to a bearer rate by the use of rate multiplication means. The bearer rate signal is estimated through the system by synchronising successive equipment in the network path, the final bearer timing signal is subsequently derived back at the original frequency. <IMAGE>

Title: Analysis of a target species by forming a complex between a micro-particle having a linking moiety attached thereto and a target and observing the field-rotation properties of the complex within a rotating field; testing kits and membranes
Inventor: PARTON ADRIAN
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1993-02-05
Abstract: A method of analysis comprises forming complexes between micro-particles (12) such as plastics beads, a linking moiety (14) such as an antibody attached to the micro-particle, and a target (16) such as a micro-organism and observing the electro-rotation properties of the complex (10). Electro-rotation is produced by applying a rotating electric field in a plane transverse to the direction of observation. The differing electro-rotation properties of the micro-particles (12) coated with antibody (14) alone and the complexes (10) are visually observable and in suitable cases discrimination is possible between complexes containing live target micro-organisms and those containing dead micro-organisms. The target (16) may be bound to a labelling moiety (14) such as a gold or magnetic particle to enhance change in electro-rotation properties produced on complex formation. A wide range of target species are detectable, including nucleic acids and proteins.

Title: Method and apparatus for integration of a wireless communication system with a cable t.v. system
Inventor: DEAN RICHARD F
IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 1997-02-06
Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus for integrating a personal communication system with a cable television plant. A set of radio antenna devices (RAD) are connected to the cable plant. The RADs provide frequency conversion and power control of signal received from the cable plant for wireless transmission to the remote units. The RADs also provide power control and frequency conversion of wireless signals received from the remote units for transmission by the RADs onto the cable plant. In addition to the functions of standard base stations and centralized controller, the CATV base station must also compensate for gain variations in the cable plant. The downstream power control is regulated by a RAD reference signal which can be hidden within the CDMA signal for maximum efficiency. The upstream power control is regulated by an upstream gain reference signal which is individually transmitted by each RAD on the upstream link. The architecture of the present invention lends itself to a great deal of flexibility. Each RAD can operate as either an element of a distributed antenna or a base station sector unto itself. The function of each RAD as distributed antenna or as sector can be remotely programmed from the headend processor. Thus the capacity density of the system can be changed to accommodate the changing traffic density. The flexibility also is important at system deployment. When the system is deploy, the entire system may feed only one sector at the base station thus reducing the start-up cost of implementing a system. As system traffic increases, more resources can simply be added at the headend to provide more capacity.

Title: Texturizing compositions for use in fat blends in food comprising sterol and/or stanol fatty acid esters
Inventor: WESTER INGMAR
IPC: A23L1/30
Filed: 1997-11-03
Abstract: Fatty acid esters of sterols and/or stanols are used as a replacement for undesirable saturated and trans-unsaturated fats used as structure giving hardstocks in edible foods such as margarines, mayonnaise, cooking oils, cheeses, butter and shortening. Because of the similarity in the crytallinity and physical properties of the esters to those of the undesirable hardstock fats, the substitution or replacement contributes favorably to the flavor, texture and other sensory properties of the foods. Only the fatty acid portion of the phytosterol esters defined herein as texturizing agent is digested or absorbed with the sterol part being unabsorbable, thereby resulting in a reduction in total caloric uptake. Furthermore, the phytosterol fatty acid esters reduce the absorption of both dietary and biliary cholesterol from the digestive tract, thereby lowering the blood serum cholesterol level, especially the LDL-cholesterol.
